Why Memory as a sport?

Our ability to remember is being eroded day by day. This is especially significant and dangerous as Memory is at the heart of everything we do – all communication, all creativity, all physical movement and all thinking – indeed at the very heart of our existence.

Hence, there is a need to train and practice memory as a sport, as a hobby so that we remain active throughout our life.

Why Memory Championships?

To promote Memory as a new Mind Sport, and in so doing to expand opportunities for mental athletes and Warriors of the Mind in India.

To redefine the art and the science of Memory by establishing new norms, benchmarks and records, and to provide certification and ranking for these norms.

To reintroduce Memory as a fundamental skill for early childhood education, thereby reinvigorating faith in, and enjoyment of, Memory.

To reverse the global misconception that Memory deteriorates with age and demonstrate, by example, that it will continually get better.

To demonstrate that Memory is the basis of creativity.

To recover, validate and preserve for future generations the mnemonic systems of earlier human cultures and to revive the traditions of oral Memory.

To create a global community of like-minded individuals fascinated by exploring the power and potential of Memory and the human mind.

It is also designed to shed light on the need for unleashing that extraordinary, largely untapped, and crucial resource for the future benefit of humanity: the Power of the Human Brain.

To create Memory competitions which are truly global and human. The Indian National Memory Championship competitions are open to all people, regardless of age, race, religion, education, language, creed, gender or physical ability, and which promote the positive human values of understanding, mutual respect, open exchange, co-operation and harmony, leading to a greater probability of world peace.

To open up fresh and significant opportunities for mental athletes by providing recognition, employment and financial opportunities.

To create a global community and network of like-minded individuals; a community fascinated by the exploration of the power and potential of Memory and the Human Mind.

To provide deeper understanding of Memory and to spread this information globally as a resource for the benefit of all those who wish to understand and improve their own performance and Memory skills.

To defend the human brain against the dangers of relying on excessive tools and props.

2017 Indian Memory Championship :

Memory is a skill and it can be learnt. Like any other skill that can be mastered, Memory can be improved at any time in life. A critical component of the brain’s functioning; memory has always assumed significance in ones’ day-to-day life.

Unlike physical sport, the mind sport is totally neglected in India. To spread this mind awareness and to contribute significantly to the intellectual empowerment and to showcase India’s brain power to the World, the National Memory Council of India is organising Memory Championships every year. The National Memory Championship is a contest that tests the memory of all participants in various dimensions. Participants who are above 12 years of age are eligible to take part in the Championship. This contest is conducted once in a year, and this year – 2017, the 8th Indian National Open Memory Championship is going to take place on 15th October, 2017, Sunday in Hyderabad (India).

Memory Maestro and Multiple Guinness World Record Holder, Squadron Leader Jayasimha is the President World Memory Sports Council for India. His main aim is to develop India through mentally healthy people. The mental health depends on how much we train and exercise our brains. Hence, exercising our mental muscle from an early age would definitely enhance creativity, memory power and enhance maximum brain usage.

National Memory Council of India:

Development from various dimensions is what enables the progress of a society. Building a better future generation is what is needed to reinforce step into a new zone of development. On those lines, Squadron Leader Jayasimha has taken an initiative to form a National Memory Council whose objective is to contribute to the mind development of the younger generation. Already well-established as a trainer, Jayasimha, the multiple Guinness World Record holder, conducts public workshops on creative memory, art of parenting, motivation, leadership and self-improvement. With the National Memory Council, the vision is to reach out to a wider section of the society to create awareness and to communicate the need and significance of mind development.

India is the latest addition to the list of affiliate countries under World Memory Sports Council. And hence the council is young. The council is recognized and licensed by the World Memory Sports Council to now authenticate and publish the National Rankings in the Sport. NMCI is now an independent body governing the mind sport of memory in India. It now regulates competitions throughout India and also provides training to anybody willing to take part in the competition. The body also assumes the responsibility of letting the sport permeate through the system, and to make this a brand vehicle to communicate to the world, the power of an Indian mind.

Squadron Leader Jayasimha’s contribution to Indian Memory:
